A Few of My Favorite Pins

May 11, 2012 By Jamee 3 Comments

With bouncing between so many doctors appointments the last week or two, I have had a hard time feeling pretty. Its been more of a blah. So I decided to do what every girl should do: 1- Vow to get back to linking up with What I Wore Wednesday and take more initiative to spend a little more time putting together outfits that make me feel better about myself; and 2- Logged onto Pinterest.

Here are a few of some of my favorite things that caught my eye this week:

I sorta have a thing for the chevron pattern these days so that matched with my love of skirts in warm weather makes me adore this outfit! I love the boho-chic accessories and the pop of green as well! I wish I had the hair too!

The only thing I would change about this outfit would be that the shorts would need to be longer! I would be quick to throw on flip-flops with these but I love the show they have paired with it!

This polish would look great the the outfit pictured above! White and turquoise just screams summer to me! Anyone else?

These short hair tips are getting my through my frustrating awkward-in-between-want-to-chop-off-all-my-hair stage! Need to stick to my guns for my bucket list!

What are some of your favorite things you’ve pinned this week?

Me on a Wednesday

March 7, 2012 By Jamee 2 Comments

I got this post idea from the wonderful BA of Heir to Blair so I thought I would share what I’m up to on this early spring Wednesday! Our trees are starting to bloom! So lovely!

Obsessing …over making the Blogging for Endometriosis Awareness a success! I totally love the ladies I’m working with and would love to either make this an annual thing for awareness month or try to create a community atmosphere all year long!

Working … on ways to keep our house from looking like a tornado whipped through it during the week. Thank goodness for inspiration from Pinterest.

Thinking … about when we are going to actually sit down and plan the new half-bath that we plan on adding in the next few weeks!

Anticipating … the results for all the labwork I had done yesterday as well as the ultrasound and EGD I will be having done on March 30.

Reading …All I Need is Jesus & A Good Pair of Jeans – looking forward to starting it today!

Listening …Jesus Culture! I have recently discovered this band & they are amazing! The song Your Love is Everything has really kept me going this week!

Eating …Not much the last several days. Unfortunately I either stay really nauseated or eat and end up with major intestinal cramps.

Wishing …for answers about my medical issues that would allow me to have some-what of an active life! Last night I fell asleep at 7:30. Not cool!

How are you doing on this fine Wednesday?

25 Questions: Christmas Style

December 22, 2011 By Jamee 1 Comment

I’m pretty sure I’ve done this before but what the heck! Its fun and now that Abby is a little older, I’m sure my answers have changed!

25 Questions: Holiday Style

1. Eggnog or hot chocolate? Hot chocolate most definitely!

2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree? Everything gets wrapped! I love wrapping! Also everyone gets their own special wrapping paper! Abby picked out Toy Story this year!

3. Colored lights on tree/house or white? Colored lights on the tree in the living room. White lights on the playroom tree!

4. Do you hang mistletoe? Actually never really thought about it! Need to add that to the list next year!

5. When do you hang your decorations up? Thanksgiving weekend!

6. What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)? Turkey! YUM! I miss eating leftover turkey sandwiches the next day! Its just not the same on gluten-free bread!

7. Favorite holiday memory as a child? I shared a room with my sister and my brother’s bedroom was right next to ours. On Christmas morning, we would all huddle in our room excitedly waiting to get the OK to run into the living room! We would pile up in one of our beds and giggle and try to guess what would be waiting under the tree!

8. What is on your Christmas wish list? I asked for a new lens for my camera! Also – some cute clothes would be great too!

9. Do you open a gifts on Christmas Eve? Just new pajamas!

10. How do you decorate your Christmas tree? Our ornaments are a hodge-podge of handmade ornaments made by Abby (which are my favorites!), ornaments from trips we have taken or special events that have taken place (marriage, baby, etc), and traditional ornaments (like glass balls, candy canes, etc)

11. Snow? Love it or dread it? Love it! If its going to be cold, let is snow! I loved having a white Christmas last year! Too bad it looks like that won’t happen this year :*(

12. Real tree or fake tree? Fake all the way! Too many allergies to have a real one!

13. Do you remember your favorite gift? Such a hard decision! As a child, I remember getting my first Cabbage Patch doll named Fruce (the name on his certificate was Bruce but I had speech issues so I called him Fruce). He went everywhere with me! So thankful that my mom saved him and now Abby is able to play with him too!

14. What’s the most important thing about Christmas for you? The birth of Jesus and knowing the best gift we could ever receive is salvation that we are given through grace and the blood of Christ.

15. What is your favorite holiday dessert? Peanut Butter Balls! YUM!

16. What is your favorite tradition? We have always, always had Mexican for dinner on Christmas Eve. Honestly, we have no idea how it started but its a tradition we all love! A couple years ago, Dad actually made a traditional dinner (ham, etc) and the three of us siblings boycotted! Now our family is carrying on the tradition!

17. What tops your tree? A star! We really need to get a lit star for next year. It looks weird when the tree is lit.

18. Do you prefer giving or receiving? Giving definitely!

19. What is your favorite Christmas song? Serious song: O Holy Night. Fun Contender: Christmas Tonight by Dave Barnes & Hillary Scott (if you are looking for a new Christmas album to listen to – definitely check out Dave Barnes!)

20. Candy canes, yuck or yum? Yum for a few minutes. Then I get tired of them!

21. Favorite Christmas movie? National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation! We watch it every year while we decorate the tree! I also love Charlie Brown’s Christmas!

22. What do you leave for Santa? Homemade cookies and milk!

23. Do you have a Christmas morning tradition? Not yet but Abby’s pretty young. I’m sure once she gets a little older we’ll have one!

24. Do you prefer to shop on-line or at the mall? Both! I love the ease of shopping online but some things you’ve just got to pick out in the store.

25. Christmas letter or Christmas card? Photo card! We live out of state from almost all our family so a photo card is a nice way to feel connected and allow family to see Abby growing up!

Let me know if you decide to do a post of your own answers to these questions! Would love to read them!
